Why make your own marshmallows or pop tarts? Well, they taste a million times better, and they won’t be loaded with chemicals. (Carrageenan? Petroleum-based dyes? Preservatives? Eew.). Once you get used to making things from scratch, it doesn’t take long, but I think between making cleaning supplies and scratch foods, my grocery list is twice as long, lol.
